Honestly I have to admit I was left slightly bewildered after watching this film for the first time in many many years.
I didn't really get the post apocalyptic vibe from this film, granted it's incredibly low budget but still it felt more like an outback set film.
I also found some of the musical choices a bit odd. The scenes with Max and his family had this TV movie vibe thanks to the bizarre choice of music. Also the music at times drowning out the dialogue was very off putting.
I did enjoy elements of this film, in particular the set pieces and action parts of this film, despite it being a low budget affair I have to say I was impressed. It's also worth bearing in mind this film was made in the late 1970's so for me that makes the action scenes all that more impressive.
Mad Max is a slightly odd low budget action flick that has a certain charm but is let down by down by questionable editing, musical score and acting.
